Description

public interface SerializeValueFilter {
    /**
     * @param name the attribute name if set.
     * @param value the value which will get serialized.
     * @return true if the value should be ignored and not serialized.
     */
    boolean shouldIgnore(String name, Object value);
}

Idea is to integrate smoothly with some libraries doing some unexpected operations when browsing the object graph. Goal is to bypass the serialization when we know it will happen.
